Although AI has a huge influence on politics, economics and warfare, only a small part of our society understands how it works.

We are increasingly giving power to a mechanism that is blindly trained through machine learning: algorithms are making sense of our world through their own abstract interpretations.

“Abyss” is a chain of 10,000 images found through Google’s reverse image search. The visual development is based on the misunderstandings that occur when the AI reads the image material. The AI does not care about scale, emotions or context, but is only interested in patterns, colors and correlations.

We are witnessing a primordial chaos before the creation of artificial consciousness.

And the awakening consciousness is looking at us as a species.
